Love Jones

Darius Lovehall is a soulful Chicago poet whose easy charm and late-night musings collide with the striking and independent photographer Nina Moseley. As they explore a tentative romance—sometimes flirting with casual fun, sometimes craving something deeper—their chemistry is charged by music, verse, and the city’s intimate hangouts where friends dissect love, lust, and commitment with sharp humor and tender honesty.

When Nina challenges Darius to prove what he really wants, their budding connection is tested and pulled in unexpected directions, setting off a chain of romantic complications that force both of them to confront fear, vulnerability, and desire. Warm, witty, and emotionally resonant, the film traces how two talented, imperfect people navigate attraction and the messy work of being honest with themselves and each other.
